wont pick up monitor

mickeyg107 · 05-20-2007, 04:14 PM

hi, over night my computer decided to not read my monitor. it was working, and then the next day when i turned my computer on the monitor stayed on stand by. so i pulled the on board video card from my other computer and tried it in the busted one. It still didn't turn the monitor on.
so i guess its a mother board problem.
i have a Gigabyte GA-8PE 800 mother board. i don't know what happenbed but can it be fixed? thanks

This could be a number of things, It was a good idea to try another video card but seeing as that did not help I would next try another power supply.

Post back with results and please include you full system specs

Ive had this happen to two diff computers and i still cant figure out what caused it.. ive been working on computers for 10 years and can figure it out.. i also tried putting in another card and no go :P even manually washed the bios hoping that would fix it and still no go, so any help would be helpful thanks, :P

When the obvious fix didn't work for me (reseating the RAM), I discovered my CPU had failed.

Good luck
